Winter, I didn't know you personally, and wish I would've had the chance to meet you. You have inspired me to do things even with a physical disability, you showed me that even though we both have/had physical disabilities, I felt like I could do anything I put my mind to, and it was all because of the confidence that you brought me. You will be forever loved and missed, swim free sweet girl
May Jesus anoint you Winter, bring Angels wings alongside your dorsal fin. You are loved. An Archangel among All Living Creatures of Earth, Saint Winter. We speak your name. Amen.
I'm doing everything in my power not to cry right now. I might have never met Winter personally, but just hearing her story makes me feel like I did. Rest in peace sweet girl. You touched the lives of millions and we're all mourning the loss just as much as the people down at the Aquarium so we're right there with you. 33333
RIP Winter. My wife and I got to see Winter for the first time in May of 2007 while on vacation. This was our first vacation after getting married in 2006. My wife loves dolphins and aquariums, and the original CMA was within walking distance from our hotel room. We went to CMA spontaneously the one day. We were walking around and saw the boathouse, signage, and other stuff from the movie. We didn't know about it, so we asked a worker. She told us that there was a movie filmed about Winter and that it hasn't been released yet. We went up and watched the showing of Winter. It was very respectful of her and her condition. We then filmed Winter while everyone else walked away. Winter came right over to us and hung out there by us. We talked to her and she was looking at us and the camera. Winter was trying to talk to us by making noises to us when we spoke to her. It was a great day. We have gone about 3 times since over the years, when we can afford to travel that far from Ohio. We made sure we go visit her any time God gives us the ability to go. Sadly we will never be able to visit her again, but plan on visiting CMA again sometime in the future. God bless them and how well they take care of those animals in need. We will miss you Winter. 😭
I loved both Dolphin Tale movies, and following Winter & Hope’s journey I’m so beyond saddened to hear that Winter passed away she was one of a kind and an inspiration to so many! She will forever be missed and never forgotten and her legacy and memory will live on through Hope and all the other dolphins at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. 🐬😢💔🥺
I have never felt such grief over an animal knew only from a movie or story but I'm devastated. Her poor caregivers must be feeling even worse. Sweet Winter's legacy will live on.
If there is a heaven, Winter is swimming with her real tail. In the ocean. With Panama. Swim in peace, darling. We will always miss you and love you. 💜❤️💞
RIP beautiful baby girl, the sixteen years of life may be all you had but you'll have eternity in my heart, I may have only knew you for 10 but it feels like 16, Have fun sweetie swimming in the heavenly waters with a tail of your own and Panama.
Arme Winter. Wir lieben dich so und werden dich sehr vermissen.Du hast menschen gezeigt was es heißt liebe und Mitgefühl zu empfinden .Unser herz ist gebrochen über diesen traurigen verlust ,aber du wirst für immer in unseren herzen weiterleben .liebe Winter ..ruhe in frieden..❤❤❤
The moment I found out, I kept thinking "It's only a bad dream. I'm gonna wake up any moment and know this never happened." I still think that to this day. Thank you, CMA, for giving her many more years to live. Winter is in our hearts
I am the exact same way!!!! I was in the middle of planning a trip when she passed away and I was absolutely devastated! I went about two weeks after she passed away and it was entirely too quiet. I was able to go in 2016 and I'm not even kidding when I say you could hear Winter from anywhere in the aquarium! One of the staff members even said when she's working in the offices sometimes Winter was so loud she could be heard! Do you keep up with CMA? They just got a new female permanent resident named Izzy, and I was fortunate enough to visit CMA the day after she arrived and she was very vocal! Nobody will ever be able to replace Winter, but I think Izzy might be filling that little hole she left! So far she's getting along with Hope very well!
I can’t believe she is gone she was such a good a strong fighting dolphin like I loved watching dolphin tale she was always my favorite dolphin 🐬 Rest In Peace winter you touch so many hearts and other people with missing body parts you keep swimming and touching people in heaven girl your in gods hands now
Winter was my friend, she brought me and her caregiver Cammie together as friends and she inspired me to live with my diabetes and Asperger syndrome. I’m still mourning for her and I will miss her forever.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Winter I am so glad I got to meet you. We have your picture framed. My heart is so broken along with everyone else. I still can’t believe you’re gone. 😔💔
Believe she's gone I didn't even get to see her or say goodbye I miss her so much I love you with her you are in my heart forever and always 🥺 I couldn't stop crying this is beautiful I miss her so much
Even though I myself don't have any physical disabilities Winter is still my number one hero but I only met her once she still is deep down in my heart. Live on and live strong Winter. R.I.P. you aren't here physically but you will live in our hearts
RIP Winter: Your story inspired so many people to become better Mammals. To the care givers at CMA, what wonderful work you have done with this very special animal. How lucky we are to have had Winter as our friend. 🐬💞🐬💞
Always wanted to meet her and work with her. You've been my dream since I was a 5 year old little girl now I'm 20 years old. We will forever miss you. You've showed so many kids how to be strong when they felt like giving up. Who knew the world could learn so much from a dolphin. We love and miss you Winter. Your legacy will live on.😔😭💔🐬
Winter,I never got to meet you but I hope I can see you soon.You had a very long and healthy life and it’s sad to see you go but you are in all of our hearts. RIP winter
I got to know winter through dolphin tale and I’m glad that I saw the movie. It became my favorite movie and I watched it over and over again. Even though I never met her, the post at CMAS instagram (announcing her death to the public), made me cry so much. I didn’t even know that I was able to cry so much, I’d never cried like that for my whole life. Deeply, I knew she’d gave me something and that’s why she was so special. Even today, a few months later, I can’t really keep my tears back watching footage of her. I’m happy that CMA took care of her and that she had 16 wonderful years on this planet. Did I wish for her to get older? Yes I did, but if she’d been left in the ocean, she would have been dead already. I know dolphins can live up to 40 years but even though she didn’t live half of a “dolphin life” she truly inspired many people. She fought until the end and I hope she watches over us right now. We really really miss you winter. 💔
i was supposed to meet her. i wish i could have, but i know we will meet again. she’s up swimming with panama. may she rest in peace, we love you beautiful winter.
I just heard this morning that she passed away I miss you winter winter be in our hearts forever I love you🥺we miss you winter 🥺oh my gosh panama and winter I'm going to cry🥺🥺🥺🥺 they can finally swim together again🥺
It still hurts extremely bad. But I was so excited to see the Clearwater marine aquarium in person for the first time. My brother told mom that he wanted to surprise me with a winter shirt & and little vacation to Tampa/Clearwater Florida
RIP Winter your were an inspiration to me and millions of other people your made me smile when I was down you made me happy when I was upset I was always love your you will be forever in my heart and when I die I will find you I promise your legacy will live on
I love you. I truly miss you even though I never met you. I think about you daily, it’s like the loss of a true family member. I’m dedicated to memorializing you. I will never forget you and the world will never forget you. I will make sure of it. You are in our hearts, and swim on. Thank you for everything. - Tyler
I'm so sad that winter died she is such a great inspiration and I was always wanting to see her one day in the aquarium but she is not in pain anymore and I'm so happy that she isn't in pain I still am sad though rip.
You should come see the dolphin with YOUR name. Nicholas has an inspiring story, too. His sunburn was bad, but they treated him well & he survived. He also played the released dolphin Mandy.
I didn’t know that winter passed away but when I was so excited to see him and then I heard about the news where he died and now I’m really sad that I can’t see him
I'm trying not to cry I need a hug 😭😭😭😭 RIP Winter I love you ❤️❤️❤️
Gone but not forgotten. We will always love you 3000 Winter. RIP girl
R.I.P.... Sweet Winter.....
